We came out in the front garden and sat in a circle on the grass with sulked faces. I began plucking out the grass and throwing it aimlessly in different directions. "So what do we do now?" I asked the ten of them who were playing with the grass too.
"I don't know sir," Samarth spoke.
"How about we play antaakshari?" Tarun suggested.
"Nah," I said pulling out more grass and throwing it on him.
"Oh wait," Daman said and slid his hand into the pocket of his coat. Taking out a pack of playing cards he began shuffling them. "Ho jaye?"
(Shall we?)
"Do you always keep that on you?" I frowned at the speed he took it out with.
"Yeah I keep it with me for whenever we get bored sitting idle outside the house," he said keeping his focus on shuffling the cards.
"Do you guys get paid to sip on tea and play cards?" I scolded them. "Do you even keep an eye on Adhvita or not?"
"Each one of us will give their own lives to save hers if anything were to happen," Samarth said with all seriousness, and the rest of them nodded agreeing to his statement.
"Good. Chal baant ab," I said straightening myself up and he began throwing cards on the grass in front of each of us in equal numbers.

It took me more than an hour to finish cleaning up the house plus the additional mess these men made. Putting all the supplies away, I fell on the couch to get some rest. I picked up the phone and opened the group chat with all the parents of the girls who come for dance lessons.
"Done," I said to myself after sending a text in it and smiling widely. Placing my phone back on the table, I went to go check on the men to see if they are sitting outside all disappointed. I opened the house doors only to find all of them playing cards and laughing loudly in the front garden. I crossed my arms at this sight as instead of helping me they were doing their entertainment. And forget even helping, they increased my work.
